Trump speaks out after service members’ deaths

Trump reacted to the deaths of the two servicemembers who were killed in action in Jordan, telling NewsNation in a phone interview that it is "very sad, it’s a very sad thing."

"We hate to see it happen. It’s in service to our country," Trump told the station, according to a reporter.

According to the reporter, the president then reiterated his objective of "never allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon."

Trump was also asked to react to Iran’s comments earlier today about suspending its commitments to the MOU.

"I couldn’t care less," Trump reportedly told NewsNation.
